Chapter Summaries

Clark kept Raziel from drawing on Earth’s remaining power of faith while gaining the upper hand in their battle near the Kuiper Belt. On Earth, Robet weakened Valentine enough to turn their fight into an even contest, just as Tarak’s enhanced Shadow Ninja arrived to investigate Angel.

• The Pope held the remaining power of faith inside himself, preventing Raziel from absorbing it as Clark pressed their fight beyond the planets of the Solar System.
• Clark tore feathers from Raziel’s wing, and Raziel blamed Gabriel for sending him into the battle instead of coming herself.
• Valentine tried to escape Robet, but Robet bound him with rings of ki and attacked him with a Dodon Ray and Destructo Discs.
• Robet’s attacks weakened Valentine until they stood on equal footing, and Diana and Kara both believed Robet could win.
• Tarak sent stronger Shadow Ninja to investigate Angel after sensing her arrival on Earth.

Robet defeated Valentine with repeated Tri-Beams, killing the demon king but exhausting himself and worsening his injuries. Diana failed to trace the force behind the Shadow Ninjas, then caught Robet as Kara arrived, jealous and frustrated.

• Kara and Diana discovered Shadow Ninjas infiltrating the Magic Academy's unstable subspace and attacked or captured them.
• Diana used the Lasso of Truth to trace the Shadow Ninjas' master, but Tarak severed their connection and destroyed them before she could locate him.
• Diana tried to track Tarak again but failed after he erased the demonic power linking him to the Shadow Ninjas.
• Robet kicked Valentine into the air and struck him with repeated Tri-Beams, opening a breach in the subspace and finally killing him.
• Robet's ki ran low as Berserker Fist faded, and Diana caught him while Kara arrived too late, glaring at them in jealousy.

Robet rescued Clary and the other Shadow Hunters from the brink of death, but he could not restore their abilities before their Subspace collapsed. After bringing them into the real world, he left Clary hoping they would meet again.

• Robet showed Diana his taller, handsome appearance, while Kara reacted with jealousy and Constantine called him to help the failing Shadow Hunters.
• Robet used his Healing Spell to restore Clary and the others' life force, though he could not return the Angel's Blood or their abilities.

• Constantine agreed to help settle the Shadow Hunters, and Robet told them to contact him through Constantine if they faced a supernatural threat.
• Clary asked whether she would see Robet again and whether she could see his real appearance, but Robet only promised she could contact him before departing.

After Diana left, Kara challenged Robet to prove she was a true female warrior and defeated him while he was still recovering from battle. Robet challenged her to fight again, and Kara remained determined to conquer him, though the chapter ended with the outcome of their next contest unresolved.

• Constantine led the group toward a settlement base and reassured Clary about her separation from Robet.
• Diana reminded Robet of their promise that he could marry her after defeating her, then left; Kara confronted Robet about what that meant for her.
• Robet told Kara he did not consider her a true female warrior, so she attacked him to prove herself.
• Kara used her strength and fighting skill to pin Robet down and ultimately defeat him, while both fighters became exhausted.
• Robet refused to accept the loss and challenged Kara to fight again, and she eagerly accepted.

After defeating Kara, Robet confessed his feelings and past with Diana, leaving Kara to claim his responsibility while accepting that he still had unresolved feelings. As Kara took him toward Martha and the others, Robet realized Clark had not returned from fighting Raziel and worried about where the battle had gone.

• Robet returned with Kara's clothes, and Kara teased him about transforming into her and being familiar with her body.
• Robet tried to explain his history with Diana, while Kara demanded that he take responsibility and questioned whether he would pursue Diana again.
• Robet admitted Diana had once mattered more to him and that he could not promise he would not repeat what happened with Kara; Kara angrily punched him, then demanded he stop hiding things from her.
• Kara pulled Robet toward Martha and the others, but Robet stopped when he remembered Clark and Raziel had vanished without leaving any battle aura on Earth.
• Kara realized she had forgotten Clark, and Robet worried that Clark had not returned from his fight with Raziel.

Robet returned to the campsite with Kara, and the two acknowledged their relationship before Robet began recovering from his injuries. In space, Clark kept Raziel on the defensive, then paused their fight to ask why Heaven had sent him to Earth.

• Robet and Kara returned to Martha and the others, and Robet promised to treat Kara better.
• Robet said Clark had pursued the injured enemy alone, so the group waited for Clark to return.
• After eating, Robet went to meditate, and Kara joined him in the tent and kissed him.

• Clark continued fighting Raziel in space and gained the upper hand as Raziel struggled to find a way to turn the fight around.
• Raziel asked Clark to stop fighting, and Clark agreed to hear why he had come to Earth.

Clark forced Raziel to reveal that Heaven had sent him to investigate and collect Faith Power, then continued attacking to prevent Heaven from reclaiming influence on Earth. As the Pope secretly intercepted Raziel’s plea for help, Raziel’s fear and despair broke his angelic heart, and he began falling toward Hell.

• Raziel admitted that Heaven had sent him to investigate Earth’s Faith Power and collect it, while Clark deduced that Heaven intended to restore its influence on Earth.
• Clark attacked Raziel with Heat Vision and an exploding asteroid, keeping him under pressure as Raziel struggled to draw more Faith Power.
• The Pope used Holy Light to intercept and erase Raziel’s message to Heaven, then prepared to turn Raziel’s Faith Power against him.
• Unable to reach Heaven or replenish his strength, Raziel feared death and lost control of his negative emotions, causing his angelic heart to crack.
• Raziel’s wings turned black as he pledged himself to Hell, losing access to Heaven’s Faith Power while beginning to connect to the Hell Dimension.

Clark repeatedly destroyed Raziel after the angel fell and gained the Hell Dimension’s power to regenerate, but could not keep him dead. Clark brought Robet and Kara to help, and Robet began testing whether his Tri-Beam could finish Raziel.

• The Pope sensed Raziel’s Faith Power return to The Holy See and wondered whether Clark had killed him.
• Raziel lost his Faith Power, became a Fallen Angel, and gained the Hell Dimension’s power to restore his body as Clark attacked him.

• Clark dragged Raziel back toward Earth and called Robet for help, while Robet brought Kara with him.
• Clark explained Raziel’s regeneration to Robet and Kara, and Robet fired his Tri-Beam at Raziel’s restored body.

Robet used the Evil Containment Wave to seal Raziel in a rice cooker, cutting off his connection to the Hell Dimension after other attacks failed to kill him. The Hell Dimension withdrew, leaving Raziel sealed while Robet and Kara celebrated and Clark looked on.

• Robet concluded that Raziel's recovery was sustained by the Hell Dimension, so he asked Kara to fetch a rice cooker for a sealing attempt.
• While Clark and Robet discussed Robet's relationship with Kara and Diana, Kara returned with the rice cooker and blasted Raziel with Heat Vision.
• Robet transformed with Great Ape Power: Rage and sent the Evil Containment Wave into Raziel, suppressing his power and severing his connection to the Hell Dimension.
• Robet sealed Raziel inside the rice cooker, and Kara hugged him in delight while Clark felt stung by her praise.
• Robet warned that Raziel had been sealed rather than killed, but the Hell Dimension's power retreated after failing to find him.

Robet and Clark released Raziel from the rice cooker and killed him before he could reconnect with the Hell Dimension. Afterward, Kara confronted Clark over his role in hiding Robet from her, while Robet proposed that Clark call him brother-in-law.

• Robet briefly opened the rice cooker, but Raziel stayed inside and tried to contact the Hell Dimension, so Robet sealed him again.
• Robet and Clark opened the rice cooker once more and struck Raziel with a Kamehameha Wave and Heat Vision, killing him as Kara dispersed the blast’s aftermath.
• The Pope watched the battle from afar and decided to keep his distance from Clark and Robet.
• Kara embraced Robet, and Clark stumbled over what to call them now that they were together.
• Kara demanded that Clark explain why he had helped Robet hide her existence, and she grew angrier when Clark mentioned Diana.

The Pope intercepted the Holy Grail as it tried to return to Heaven, then used its power and Raziel’s blood to restore the Shadow Hunter lineage. In Heaven, Gabriel activated the Voice of Heaven to question the Pope about Raziel’s fate, and the Pope concealed his role by claiming he knew little about the angel’s descent.

• Kara accused Clark of plotting to use Robet for a coming-of-age ceremony, then flew away with Robet and warned Clark not to bully him again.
• The shattered Holy Grail revived by absorbing Raziel’s blood and feathers, then tried to contact Heaven and return there.
• The Pope intercepted the Holy Grail, drew out its power, and sent the Angel’s Blood and wings to restore the Shadow Hunter lineage.
• Gabriel and the angels learned that Raziel had fallen, argued over Gabriel’s decision to send him to Earth, and Gabriel chose to contact the Pope with the Voice of Heaven.
• The Pope answered Gabriel’s questions by claiming he had heard of the angel’s descent but had received no useful information about what happened.

The Pope stalled Gabriel while she investigated the unexplained Holy Light, as Angel Power restored the abilities of Clary and a few other Shadow Hunters. Robet warned Constantine about Heaven and Hell, then faced Kara’s pointed questions about Clary and Diana.

• The Pope distracted Gabriel with talk of his faith and the demons destroyed on Earth, prompting her to order an investigation into the Holy Light.
• Constantine warned the Shadow Hunters about the costs of supernatural power, and most of them decided to leave that life behind.

• The Dimensional Debt Collector said Constantine had transferred his debt to Robet and demanded soul power for their Tracking Magic, explaining that the price depended on the number and strength of the targets tracked.

Robet refused to repay the Magic Dimension’s debt and easily defeated its Dimensional Debt Collector, then questioned him about the powers beyond Earth. He learned that the collector was a former debtor and that equivalent payment, including a demon king’s soul, could erase the debt, while the collector promised others would keep pursuing him.

• Robet refused to acknowledge the debt, so the Dimensional Debt Collector attacked him and revealed the power behind Tracking Magic.
• Robet fought back, surveyed the surrounding dimensions, and sensed that distant dimensions were far more powerful than the nearby pantheons.
• Robet overwhelmed the Dimensional Debt Collector and held back so he could question him about the Magic Dimension and its powerful beings.
• The Dimensional Debt Collector explained that he was a former debtor forced into eternal labor and said the Hell Dimension’s classifications were widely respected because it was exceptionally vast and powerful.
• The Dimensional Debt Collector said equivalent exchange could erase Robet’s debt, including surrendering a demon king’s soul, and that transferring the debt was also possible.

After confronting the Dimensional Debt Collector over the price of Tracking Magic, Robet returned to Kara and explained the danger and limits of dimensional powers. He later told Clark about the debt and tried to make Clark’s soul leave his body, but Clark instinctively resisted.

• Robet returned to his body after dismissing the Dimensional Debt Collector and discovered he could sense the faint power tracking him.

• Robet told Clark that Tracking Magic had incurred a debt, and Clark asked whether Robet could help him overcome his inability to separate his soul from his body.
• Robet struck Clark to try to knock his soul free, but Clark’s mental power surged as he resisted, prompting Robet to tell him to stop fighting the attempt.

Robet trained Clark’s soul by repeatedly attacking it, while Kara challenged Robet and the two grew closer during vacation. When school resumed, Kara arrived arm in arm with Robet, and his thoughts turned to visiting Diana after another two days.

• Robet separated Clark’s soul from his body, tested its strength, and began training it through combat.
• Robet explained that he could leave part of his soul inside his body, then overwhelmed Clark’s soul and fled before Clark could retaliate.
• Clark agreed to continue training, and over the following days Robet injured his soul while Kara repeatedly challenged Robet and lost.
• After vacation, Kara entered school with her arm linked through Robet’s, surprising their classmates and drawing Lorna’s attention.

• Constantine found the powerless Shadow Hunters work as informants and advised Clary and the others to remain cautious about their restored powers.
• Guardian opened a Portal to the former Magic Academy, but Constantine sensed danger and led everyone away just before strange blood surged from the ground and a ring of fire failed to form.

• Robet asked Constantine where Mephisto had gone and what he intended to do.

Robet and Constantine planned to wait for Mephisto to reveal himself, unaware that the Hell Lord had already begun searching for his fated knight and had encountered the Joker. Mephisto watched the Joker kill a fellow performer and praised his evil soul, leaving the two face to face.

• Constantine admitted he had no information on Mephisto and warned Robet that tracking him could expose them; Robet told him to keep searching and contact him if Mephisto appeared.

• Mephisto emerged from the darkness, praised the Joker as a born villain, and the Joker recognized him as a Demon.

Joker negotiated a contract with Mephisto for Ghost Rider power, tying his soul to Mephisto only after he fulfilled his obsession and died. After the contract awakened his powers, Joker resisted Mephisto’s influence, attacked him, and wondered whether he could use his new power to judge Batman.
